With rope.

And people can hang themselves on oak trees by their necks too, after a bad episode of sniffing glue from making boats and bread.

w/e scrap it being rams i really don't give a fuck. i want the ability to terraform cliffs now that brick walls are meaningful forms of defense.

I understand you have a compulsion to be a major dick and that's fine but you shouldn't let it interfere with your ability to address the issue at hand.

I'm more in favor of loftar implementing height properly (may need 3d client) so that it becomes PAINFULLY OBVIOUS that a cliff is a cliff, and attempting to "teraform" it into 'not a cliff' is not going to fly.

Maybe if we were able to 'move' cliffs through massive effort, like digging into the side of them it would make both chak, and the realism nuts happy, however in order to do that Loftar would have to implement height so he could know which side is high and which is low...


On the whole I think this leans a bit too far on the "give us what we want" vs "overcome the restrictions of your environment" scale.
